Select Arcade Settings on the left hand side of the page.

Find: Board URL and once again use this format:

Quote:
 
http://sSERVER #.zetaboards.com/FORUM NAME/pages/arcade/


I can not stress this enough: You must use this format, the arcade will not work otherwise.
/pages/arcade/ must be at the end of your url.

If you have a domain, use this format:
Quote:
 
http://www.DOMAIN NAME.com/pages/arcade/


Now hit Update Settings

Congratulations, you are finished! :)

Ok, I did this exactly as you said, and it doesn't work.
The arcade pages work, but when you click a game it takes you back to the main forum page.

I require the board URL you are trying to install it on. Providing as much info as you can is key for me to help you.

They don't always have the site they are installing the arcade on in their profile. The user above has nothing indicating he is trying to install thunder arcade on the site in his sig/profile.

I got that same error too.

I think gamefreak forgot one last step, because I went to his support forum, and found a solution to this. This is the last step you should complete, and it should fix your problem for you. ;):

Hopefully, that should solve your problem. Also, gamefreak, I guessing you forgot that step in this thread. I think you should add it.

Yeah but I found out that logging in and then doing those steps solves the problem. You even posted it on one of your support topics.

If it fixes the problem and does no harm, it should be alright.

This seems to not work with boards that have a domain name?

It should work fine with domains. You entered the wrong URL. It should be:

I'm having some trouble with this, it may be an issue in the CSS, though.

When I load the arcade page in some of the skins, the page is thrown off (skin isn't cooperating with the CSS of the acade).

http://tinypic.com/r/2eg8hh2/5
http://tinypic.com/r/2qcp006/5

One common thing that occurs with the arcade is that the first came listed corellates with the skin, but for some reason, every game (cubicle) listed below it seems to be thrown off.
